Leak-Proof Your Roof

Warrantied Up to 20 Years

Most commercial buildings have the same thing in common. Most have roofs that are starting to show signs of premature wear. The first and most obvious symptom would be a leaky roof. In the United States alone, there are billions of square feet of metal roofing, and a very good percentage of these metal roofs are leaking. In some cases the leaking becomes a constant battle that the property owner faces.

Why Does This Happen?

If you have been through this already, then you may be wondering why metal roofs keep leaking. It is not a design flaw. Most metal roofs leak because of temperature fluctuations. You may not know this, but on a sunny day the temperature of your average metal roof can easily be 100 degrees hotter than it is outside. When the sun sets, the roof starts to cool down. All of these temperature changes can cause the roof material to expand and contract. The expanding and contracting causes gaps in the roof, and it puts a huge strain on the seams and fasteners. This is the number one reason why commercial metal roofing starts to leak.

What Can You Do About It?

It may seem like the most obvious thing to do would be to replace the entire roof and just start over. This would fix the leaky roof problem for a little while, but the roof problems could quite possibly come back in a few years. A Conklin roof coating will allow you to fix a leaky roof, lower your energy costs and avoid replacing your roof. All of this can be done for a lot less than your traditional roof replacement.

Why spend more money replacing your roof? 40+ years ago this may have been your only option, but the times have changed. Conklin roofing products have been put to the test. There is currently over 2 billion square feet of roofing being protected by Conklin elastomeric roofing materials. These roofs are not leaking, and their cool white coating is saving property owners thousands of dollars in energy costs every year. Don’t battle a leaky metal roof any longer. Cover your roof with a Conklin cool roof and start saving money today.

Where Do the Leaks Spring Up?

You may be wondering if there are any specific areas of a commercial roof that are prone to leaking. The simple answer is yes. The more elaborate answer is found below. You will find roof leaks commonly show up in these places:

• seams
• fasteners
• gutters
• vents
• air conditioning units
• caps
• flashing
• skylights
• access hatches

As you can see, there is not one square foot of roofing that is not susceptible to leaks. Once one leak is repaired, it is very likely that another leak will show up somewhere else. It quickly becomes a constant battle that just never seems to stop. If you happen to live in an area of the United States that endures a very wet climate or an annual rainy season, then you may already be facing the challenges associated with your commercial roof.

What Can You Do About It?

There are a few things that can be done about the leaks. You could just put buckets on the floor to catch all the leaks, but that would be a little counter-productive and will cost you more down the road to repair the roof and water damage. You have two other options that will work.

The Expensive Route

The more expensive option would be to replace the entire roof. This can be very costly, and it is only a temporary solution. In a few years, you will wind up facing the same battle again. If you have money to burn, then this might not be a bad idea. Most business owners don’t have money to burn. They are looking for a way to make money with their business, not spend it. That leaves one other choice to fix the constant leaky roof.
